Maybe get some decent pictures if you wanna sell a bike...and definately don't post pictures of yourself sitting on it!! Jeeeez. And maybe, if you're asking that sort of money you might want to provide a proper spec...at least list the fucking dimensions. You really haven't thought it through properly.

Oh, and it's your first post is it? Prepare yourself for a fucking lynch-mob. Ahhh...

You're right Tiles. I asked your Mum if I could have it and she said No.

A bit unnecessary, but cheers for the advice guys.
It's not me on the bike. If anyone is interested I'll take it down the basketball court.
Cheers.

He didn't just buy it from BLB and tried to cycle away but failed after a few centimetres?

I went to BLB today mind, and check out the Fuji Obey bike, fucking gorgeous, until I have a quick chuckle at the "made in tawian" sticker underneath the Obey logos on the headset.

Did u get this from BLB?

You do realise that it's not actually a Bianchi. It's just a cheap steel TT frame that has had the drop-outs swapped. I was there when they bought it off someone I knew. I was working for them when they got it re-sprayed.

It was bought for £110 as a full bike including the Deore hubbed 650c on the front. I was going to buy it off them for £200 but it was in such bad condition.... looks nice with a re-spray! unfortunately it's only worth about £250-£300 built up... no way £650 when it is not a Bianchi!

Don't get me wrong - it's a nice lugged steel frame with cool geometry and a nice new paint job, but it's only worth £250 built up I reckon

people keep bandying about this £250 figure for full builds.

how does that work?
let's say cheap and shit as it gets:

frame - £70 (i.e the Bob J i got off ebay, not the Bob J i got off Bob J, which costs £340, or £400 depending where you get it)
stem - £10 (cheapo moser i got from a box, not the cinelli that cost £20)
bars - £15 (old alux madisons, not criteriums or nitto)
BB - £15 (miche, not centaur or anythign slightly better)
wheelset - £120 (OTP, and cheap even then, most people don't build wheels)
seatpost - £10 (cheap alloy thing)
saddle - £20 (not a rolls, or regal, or brooks, a veritable assripper)
brake caliper - £15 (not a 105)
lever - £15 (dirty harry)
cable bits - £5
bar tape - £5 (not cinelli cork or fatwrap, nasty stuff)
chainring - £20 (somethign mega shit, certainly not campag or sugino)
cranks - £50 (see above)
pedals - £10

even if you come in cheaper on the drivetrain, this £250 is a bit of a myth, and bikes sold for that are generally sold at a loss to the chap/lady who put it together.
